A small truck service repairer allows a local haulage firm to park their lorries on the premises at night for a small rental. The drivers of the haulage firm have access to the yard only to pick up the vehicles for the normal day to day haulage operation and return them to the yard at close of play. This includes Sundays when the truck service repairer are closed. One of the drivers of the haulage firm, as part of his daily routine, fell from the back of the vehicle and suffered a minor concussion. Who is duty bound to report this to RIDDOR, the service repairer (landlord) or the haulage firm (employer of the Driver)?

It is the employer's responsibility to report the RIDDOR incident if it meets the criteria, e.g. major bone fracture, over 7 days off work etc. As I understand it, concussion per se is not reportable. Loss of consciousness is though, irrespective of the length of unconsciousness. Concussion and LOC often go hand in hand though. Edited by user 21 March 2017 20:11:56(UTC)
